Sorry to say we've had more fatals. Here's what we did that we shouldn't have done:
PROBLEM: In one instance, we spelled the first name of police chief Barry Kopperrud as Berry, like the fruit. Since Berry is not his first name, this is a fatal. And spell check wouldn't have caught it, since Berry is spelled correctly. Problem is, it's the wrong word.
SOLUTION: In addition to running spell check, check each name, title, number, address, and fact for accuracy. Double-check spellings of names with your eyes against your notes.
